345 really is enough (Destiny)

None of that stuff you can get without grinding. Vanguard and faction packages require you to grind rep. Xurs loot requires you to grind strange coins. Speakers items legendary marks. The only thing you can get at 350 light that's not a grind are the quest exotics.

So no, that doesn't work for me. I preferred the steady increase in dropped gear that you got in story missions leading you up to the raid so that you were a good level without grinding anything.

"Boohoo, I have to play the game in order to be able to beat the final boss! Why does Bungie hate me so!"

I never said that you can teleport to the final raid encounter if you simply buy the game and put it into the disk tray. I'm saying that you aren't absolutely forced to do any one thing in the game to level up for the raid. You were grinding endlessly to get your light as high as possible. I said that the raid is doable at 355 (You were 368 when I inspected you), and technically beatable even if you are a 345, which is super easy to get to. You're saying "If you can't beat it with a full team at 340 all using the starting Khvostov, you're lying!" But the game doesn't work that way.
